A good alternative if you are looking for more school related web dramas especially after watching A-TEEN!

Unlike the former, this drama however, does not have much of a romance, but focuses more on school issues such as bullying, rumors, honestly, and friendship. After all, a good drama doesn't always have to have romance in it!

The Guilty Secret is interesting as it is not cheesy nor cliche, and is a more refreshing take on friendships, and the problems they face at that age. There is really nothing special about its plot, but this drama has its own unique qualities that sets it apart from other high school web dramas in a good way. Every episode neatly written and executed without making it too dramatic for high school nor cringy, it also makes you curious as to what secrets are yet to be revealed, which what made me finish this in one sitting.

The casting and the actors were also good. Everyone looked like their typical high school students, and were able to pull their roles well even despite the limited lines and scenarios! I was able to really see the characters genuine friendship towards each other.

The character growth, resolve, and positive outlook of the female lead at the end was heartwarming, that it made me become satisfied with what i just watched. An overall nice drama! 7.5/10!
